BRACKET FOR BED-FRAMES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 248,803, dated October 25, 1881. Application filed August '23, 1881. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES 'l. SEGAR, a citizen of the United States, resident of Utica, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented a new and valuable Iniprovement in Brackets for Bed-Frames; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a perspective view of my device. Fig. 2 is a sectional view, and Fig. 3 is a view as applied to a bed-frame, one corner of which is in section.

This invention has relation to corner-brackets for bed-bottom frames; and it consists in an angular bracket which is adapted to be driven upon the ends of the side and end rails of the bed-frame, and which is provided with an anvil for hammering, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and particularly claimed.

Referring by letters to the accompanying drawings, Adesignates a bed-bottom the corners of which are secured by my improved brackets B. These brackets B are castin openwork and in the miter form shown, and are adapted to be driven upon the ends of the side and end rails of the bed-frame until the miter-joints of the rails are formed, thereby completing the bed-frame and holding it firmly in place and form.

The advantages of this device are obvious. The corner-brackets form ties, which securely bind the rails of the frame at the corners. An anvil-block, b, is formed on the apex of the angular bracket-,in order that the bracket may not be injured while being driven upon the rails of the bed-frame.

I am aware that a corner iron has been used for holding together frame-corners.

' Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

An angular bracket which is adapted to be driven upon the ends of the side and end rails of a bed-frame, and which is provided with an anvil for hammering, as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES THOMAS SEGAR.
